IC

Name: Kenny Kerr
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Place of Birth: On the street, travelled between different BoS camps.
Appearance (Match Your Skin): Short brown hair, but shaggy hanging loosely over his eyes. Wears a brown trench coat with a bandoleer over it. Wears a blue jumpsuit under the coat and has a well-built leather rucksuck to contain all the goods and necessities he needs for his journeys. Has thick leather boots with steel toe caps and a belt to carry a possible pistol and other weapons and utilities.
Personality: Thoughtful. Selfish as he thinks only for profit and his own gain. Wouldn’t mind stealing if it profited him in anyway. Very clever but not always as forthcoming with ideas. Doesn’t speak much, tends to analyse the situation before jumping in.
Fears: Particuarly disgusted by irradiated creatures like Radroaches and especially more so to things like Deathclaws. Extremely worried that he will get robbed and lose everything.
Weaknesses (Doesn't have to be anything major): Tends to jump at situations where profit could be earned, sometimes without thinking it over first (which is abnormal for him) and this can lead to him getting hurt.
Strengths (Nothing too over-powered): Extremely charming when he wants to be, so can talk people over very effectively. A real salesperson. Quite clever.
Ethnicity: White Caucasian.
Special Requested Items (Personal Items, must be explained in your biography, otherwise you will not receive them): Extra bottlecaps. (As my character hoarded them and is a merchant). A kitchen knife (some sort of sword I guess?).
Biography (300 Character Minimum): Brought up as a child from one of the members of the Brotherhood of Steel, Kenny was forced to participate in all sorts of rigorous training regimes, in which his father and mother both expected him to complete without failure, as he was supposed to grow up into a member of the Brotherhood of Steel. Kenny never enjoyed the training exercises, and thought they were a horrible waste of time and energy. He wasn’t very fast, he didn’t have good reflexes, he wasn’t the best at shooting any kind of gun or wielding any sort of melee weapon. He enjoyed the quiet moments where he’d read a pre-war book, scavenged a long time ago, the cover nearly falling off and pondering how terrible the wasteland was, and how it could so easily be bettered.

He realised from a young age that people could only be motivated into creating a better society by using one thing – money. He knew that the currency was bottlecaps scavenged from old bottles of Nuka-Cola and set out hoarding and stashing whatever he could find, scavenging and selling things on a daily-basis. His parents soon realised he was spending a lot more time away scavenging than he was training to be a member of the BoS, they were angered by this, and his father promptly beat him, calling him a scoundrel and many other hurtful names. He decided that he wasn’t just going to take all the punishment, all the pain of his parents forcing him to be something he obviously wasn’t good at, and had no interest in. Packing all his belongings, including his bottlecaps into a large rucksack he fled from his home, stealing water and food and a kitchen knife, in order to pursue his dream of being a merchant and perhaps even running a small trading town. His ideas were set, and Kenny spent a few years trying to reach his goals, striving to establish more contacts, hiring mercenary bodyguards, getting people to scavenge dangerous areas for payment and building up his cache of bottlecaps.
RP Example:
*customer walks into store*
C: Got any .32 ammo?

K: I might have, depending on the..price.

C: Have you got some or not?

K: Twenty-four rounds for thirty caps.

C: How about we work it down to twenty? Wouldn’t want someone getting hurt, would we?

*Kenny pulls out rifle from under the counter, aims it at the customers chest*

K: Better make that.. Thirty-five caps.

*Customer throws the caps over the counter, gritting his teeth as Kenny hands over the ammo*

Loving the friendly community, and the amazing RP we have. Definitely one of the best, under-appreciated RP servers out there.And remember to come to Kerr Scelt's Imports for all your needs, on anything!

In-Character Information

Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play.

What’s your character called?: - Decan Lazar

What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Human, Northerner

What sex are they?: - Male

How old are they?: - 23

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family: - Decan had poor parents. They were near the bottom in terms of poverty. His mother managed to scrape together a few coins through dirty work, such as washing and minor courier work. His father had secured a low-paying high working job as a farmhand. But one day, Decan and his family had a very big surprise. Decan's mother was pregnant, and the baby was only a few months off. In those few months, Decan and his family worked even harder, to gain more money. When his mother finally gave birth, they gave birth to a wonderful little boy. That was Decan's brother and his name was Kerr. To feed his family, Decan and his father had to take up poaching, which was forbidden where they were. Decan also took up stealing petty things, to keep the family better fed. Decan learnt how to use a bow, sword and a axe, but he was never more than adequate. The family was at its happiest.

One day, upon returning home from a walk in the woods, Decan heard a large commotion, it was coming from the village square, he ran there quickly, and saw what was happening. Decans father was being whipped, viciously, with two rabbits at his feet. The skin of his back had been torn, bloody and bits of gore flew around at each whip. Decan's brother stepped up, but he was shot through the head with a arrow, crumpling helplessly to the ground. Alas, after that Decans father was also shot, and the crowd dispersed. Decan and his mother collected their belongings, and left. They travelled through thick forest, rarely meeting travellers, through this Decan learnt to be a lot more charismatic, and less gruff. Decan's mother eventually contracted a disease, and after a few weeks of Decan's terrible attempts of nursing her back, she died. And so Decan began his solo journeys.

What are they like (personality)?: - Decan is introverted most of the time, but when he gets into mercantile, he is quite open. He loves a good bartering match, and has a eye for nice looking buildings.

What are their ambitions?: - To become a rich and powerful merchant.

Do they have any special skills?: - Basic lockpicking (through stealing in the village), very charismatic, bartering.

What are their weaknesses?: - Decan has a fear of fire, and a fear of falling back into poverty.

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Decan stands at about 6 ft, light-skinned, but not as muscular as most northerners. Dark black hair, with green eyes. He dresses as finely as possible, although sometimes wears leather armour.

Anything else you want to say about them?: - Decan came from a smallish unmarked village.

Decan's father was a overworked, under-payed farmhand, the only thing they had left to live for was their baby son, Decan. As soon as Decan's mother and father knew they were going to have to have yet another baby, they grimaced but kept on going. Decan's father had to take up the danger of poaching, and brought Decan along with him. Decan never really became more than adequate at using a bow, or wielding any sort of blade but he learnt enough to help his family stay alive.
[/color]
Once Decans brother came along, Decan's father was removed from his job as a lowly farmhand. As lowly as that job was, it was required. And so came the era of consistent poaching. By the age of eight, Decan's brother was dragged out, so he could learn to hunt too. One day when Decan had come back from a walk in the city, he heard a large commotion, walking uneasily towards it, he was met with his fathers cries of agony. The guard captain, a man the people in the poor district of the city called "Wrath" was whipping Decan's father viciously. Dead rabbits and other small animals lay at his feet. Decan's brother jumped up to the stage, confronting the guard captain, but alas, he was shot by one of the guards crossbows. Decan's father cried out for him, but he too was put down.

After that, Decan's mother pulled him to a alley and there was where they discussed this new land. Asladoria. They had had enough of opression, and fighting and war, and so they gathered the pittance they had, Decan had still his leather jerkin, his bow and his worn and beaten sword, and they went towards to docks, to find their destiny, be it good or be it bad.

In the weeks of getting there, on a dirty, packed rickety boat, Decan's mother had contracted a deathly disease. Decan tried desperately to help her, but in the days before arrival, she too passed away.

The skin you have doesn't fit the setting very well, but some minor edits and it would be fine. Just remove the white sleeves, maybe remove the middle part as well so it looks like a vest, and maybe darken the skin a little, if you want. I'm a 'skinner' by hobby, and maybe I'll get in trouble for this, but I'll offer to make you a skin, if you give me details.
The theme of suddenly dying parents (Especially in a random fire) is very cliche (As in every other applicant an their mother puts it in), but since the app is over-all well done, I'll let it slide.
To answer your question; yes. Suicide is an option, it's happened plenty of times in previous servers. The only thing is that it has to be well done in RP; as in your character needs a legitimate reason to be very emotionally unstable.
Now, onto the final verdict: Accepted. The only issue would be with the skin, but I figure with the server not open yet, there's ample time to get an appropriate one.

First of all, I would like to say thank you very much for accepting me! Is there a estimated time the server will be open?
Also, I know the parents death was cliche, as well as the fire, but I needed a reason to commit suicide (depression), just incase I don't like being a farmer, and I didn't know what to put as my fear.
It would be much appreciated if you could make a skin for me. All I really want is some sort of merchant skin.

RP Example: (An example of an interaction you might have with another player(s) while on the server. Include dialogue)Decan: Hello fine sir, I was wondering if you'd like to purchase some fine freshly made bread! Made it myself this morning!*Man stops and turns as I bring him into my shop*Decan: If the bread doesn't take your fancy, I have a selection of meats and fruits.Man: How much for a few loaves of bread? Me and my wife need to be going soon, so please hurry.Decan: For you my good man only 10 florins, do we have a deal?Man: I suppose we do!*Man hands money over the hard wooden counter as Decan takes the bread and wraps it up.*Decan: It was a pleasure to do business!

Skin: (Please provide a link or picture to your skin. If you can't provide either, please write a GOOD summary of what it looks like. Must be appropriate for the setting.) http://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/skyrim-imperial-no-armor/ There’s a link. As my character is a wealthy trader I thought it would be appropriate. I may change some details but I’ll let you know.

Backstory: (This is one of the most important parts of your app. 250 word minimum (no exceptions) about your character's past, and key events that led them to be who they are)Decan always wanted to farm. Always. Since he was a little toddler on his parents estate giggling gleefully at his little allotment. His parents thought he was mad, as they wanted him to only be a wealthy trader, and take after his father so he could inherit the Lazar family estate and produce even more wealth and riches for them.At the age of 16 Decan had had enough, his parents forcing him to work learning the art of trade had frustrated him to his limit, with only what he could swipe quickly from the estate Decan left, florins jangling in his pocket, without a single goodbye. For a year Decan roamed, his schooling in the art of bartering and trade had not went to waste, as he had made enough money to start work on his one true love – farming. He bought a house with a large field that eventually, with much back – breaking work, he managed to turn into a golden wheat field. He sat on the outside porch that one day, where he had hand sown the last seed and wept with happiness. He had secured his future.Within two years Decan grew uncontent – he was lonely, he had searched many times for a wife but, aside from a few relationships that had lasted a few months or weeks and a few flings, he found nothing. He had decided he would leave the work to the farm – hands and the caretakers for a little while – and leave to visit his long – forgotten mother and father.Upon travelling to the old Lazar state, Decan was greeted only by sad, miserable glances. He recognised a few of the townspeople, but never ceased to speak to them, he strode only for the estate of his parents. As he got there, he smelt a not so pleasantly familiar smell. Fire.Rushing as fast as he could Decan reached the front of the once spectacular, awe-inspiring front of the Lazar manor. Once a four storey luxury building, now was a burning, mostly hollowed shell of a house. The servants quarters lay mainly untouched, but the main manor was covered in the blazing flames of crimson fire. Decan could only stare. He fell to his knees and mourned for his mother and mourned for his father. Decan thought only of fond, sweet memories of them then, and forever on afterwards. The way his father’s eye twinkled when regaling him with tales of his younger self and adventures whilst he was a travelling tradesman. The way his mother comforted him whenever there was a storm, and held him closely. Decan never liked fire before then, but after that he couldn’t stand it, for it had taken his mother and his father.
